Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya who emerged as the runner up at Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 as a contestant, has savage retorts for such nasty trolls. She said that a woman doesn’t need to have a figure like Angelina Jolie to be a Wonder woman. Talking to Times of India, she said, “A woman does not need to have a size-zero figure or look like Angelina Jolie to be a wonder woman. Our society has always supported a particular body type or figure to be labelled as perfect, which is quite disappointing. I don’t know why our mindset has such a preconceived approach. I was never the best, but I always had the zeal to learn. I always believed in myself and that’s the only reason that I could perform well in the show. I never aborted any task. It’s all in our brain to win or lose and I always believe in observing, learning and growing.”
